A customer asked the following question: Is there a report or way to quickly see the approver of timesheets or does it only show up when viewing an individual timesheet? When a timesheet is approved, it is stamped with the name of the approver and the time of approval. This information is visible at the […]
Some customers have asked if it’s possible to remove the billable option when adding new time entries. The goal is to prevent users from changing the billable status from its default setting. For example, on billable projects, they want to ensure users can’t uncheck the billable option and accidentally save the time as unbillable. At […]
A customer asked the following question: The Project Landscape Report is great and has everything we need for our year end reporting, but I don’t see a way to narrow down the report by when the project was created. Is there a way to narrow down the projects included or does it only show all […]

A customer made the following feature request. It would be good if you could run the Gantt and not show the estimated and actual time.

A customer made the following feature request: When the “Submit for approval” button is pressed accidentally there is no confirmation required nor any way to undo the action.

A customer asked the following question: I was wondering if there was a way to set default rates for individual clients rather than only having the rates in system wide. Or even on the project level?
